Capnography is the process of monitoring partial pressure or concentration of carbon dioxide in respiratory gases by using capnogram. It is majorly used as a monitoring tool during intensive care and anesthesia. Capnography helps to anesthesiologists to prevent the hypoxia and help to determine the situations that can lead to hypoxia and may cause irreversible brain damage. Due to these advantages, capnography is widely used in endoscopic suites, emergency rooms, x-ray rooms, and on-site emergency and trauma centers. In healthy individuals, difference between the arterial blood and expired CO2 partial pressure is very small however, in presence of lung disease, and some congenital heart disease the difference is increased and can exceed 1 kPa.

Market Dynamics: North America Capnography Devices Market

Increase in the prevalence of respiratory diseases (according to American Thoracic Society, approximately 360,000 respiratory failure cases observed in the U.S. every year), rise in R&D activities for the innovation of newer products, well developed healthcare infrastructure, and guidelines issued by American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) for the use of capnography in sedation are anticipated to fuel the North America capnography devices market. However, alternative devices availability for capnography such as pulse oximeter, new clinical studies restraining the usage in non-intubated individuals, and issues associated with capnography usage are expected to impede the growth of capnography devices market.
